Looking down on Sonic’s Total Value Locked (TVL) data further supports its bullish stands. Crypto intelligence tracker DefiLlama data shows that S’s TVL increased from $292.86 million on February 3 to $704.76 million on Friday, hitting a new all-time high.

Another aspect bolstering the platform’s bullish outlook is a recent surge in traders’ interest and liquidity in the S chain. According to Sonic’s insider post on X, S’s Decentralized Exchange (DEX) trading volume has surpassed $1 billion.
